Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has warned rival clubs that he has no intention of selling in the summer. The Cottagers key contributors this season, Brede Hangeland, captain Danny Murphy, and midfielder Clint Dempsey are all much coveted.

"I'm hoping the nucleus of our squad is with us next year," he said.

"We are not looking to release players, more to strengthening with a few players to bring in."
